Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the battery last?
Expect roughly 5 to 7 days with normal use and Bluetooth calling turned off. Heavy calling use can reduce that to 2 to 3 days.
Is the SpO2 sensor accurate?
It gives a reasonable estimate for general wellness tracking, but it is not a substitute for a medical pulse oximeter. Readings can vary with movement and poor fit.
Does it work with iPhones?
Yes, it connects via Bluetooth and the companion app supports iOS, though some advanced settings may be limited compared to Android.
